Vivi has spent quite a lot of time on my person today. He curled up on me for more than an hour earlier, and he’s remounted me as of the last 10 minutes. I have to keep at least one hand on him because he gets happy and tries to roll… and I don’t have room for that. We’ll figure… Read more »

The BBs have done a lot of their napping out in the open today. Earlier, Raven was on my table at the back, and Vivi on the boxes underneath. It’s the sunny side of the house during the morning, so they were having a nice absorb. Vivi is currently napping there on the cat tree, while Raven is under the… Read more »

The new furkids continue adjusting apace. They’ve spent today napping under the brown couch by me, which is easy to reach under and give them tiny pets. I’ve managed to pick up both of them for little snuggles today, so it’s all progress. I’m keeping their foster mum in the loop, and she gave me a massive compliment in saying… Read more »

Yes, had to go out of doors into the evil sunshine thing. *hisses softly* My little Etsy sell is doing well! I plan on extending it to the end of May because of the Etsy Strike next week, which I am absolutely taking part in. I’m fortunate enough that my Etsy selling is hobbyist rather than my primary income, but… Read more »

The kittens are home, and slightly shy. Raven (we’re probably keeping that name) has come out and is chilling in my environs. Denver, who we are thinking we’re going to rename Vivi, has been a bit shyer. He’s come out a bit, like to get a bit of water, but he’s not quite ready to take in all the changes…. Read more »

We received the most excellent news this morning — we’ve been picked to adopt Denver and Raven (name changes pending acquaintanceship). We’re picking them up tomorrow morning, and I’m just. A welter of feelings, good and sad. I continue to miss and mourn Batman, and probably will for some time yet. But I’m so happy that we are getting a chance… Read more »

So tiny! So smol! I’m having to Science™® to see what the biggest flag size is that I can get on the tiny hoop. 13 wide seems to be the limit, and definitely stretching it based on science so far. Still, I’m impressed by how much flag I can get into a little space. 😀 Home visit call went well;… Read more »

I’ve been on the lookout for some time now for kittens at any of the local rescues. I spotted a pair this morning, and whelp, that ball is rolling. Not for us to be handed kittens, not yet — there are hoops to be jumped through to prove that we’re a good home and a good fit. We’ve made it… Read more »

This is a grand 16mm of flag, on 20-count Aida cloth. I think I can get four on the bit of cloth I have on this hoop; I carefully measured it last night to try and account for the extra cloth I’d need on the sides. And if not, well. This is a scrap I had in the bottom of… Read more »

I had a little lie-in this morning, ’cause I could. The downside of that? It was closer to lunch by the time I had my breakfast, and I was very snappish. I apologised to Z by way of silliness: Me: Is your wife being cranky and it wasn’t your fault? You may be entitled to compensation! I told him I’d… Read more »
